Therefore, the unit has promptly deployed the assignment of adequate staff to departments to provide good care for patients. Accordingly, departments with a large number of inpatients such as pediatrics, internal medicine, trauma, cardiology, intensive care, etc. will all have additional doctors and nurses on duty.

The hospital also thoroughly instructs all staff to improve their attitude towards serving patients, communicating and behaving kindly and politely; properly implementing relevant regulations and technical procedures. Emergency teams must always be ready when an epidemic occurs. Individuals assigned to be on duty at the outpatient and resident hospitals must not travel far, not drink alcohol, and must not turn off their phones on duty days.
